Two-year U.S. yields rose seven basis points to 3.466%, the highest since late 2007 and far above the ten-year at 3.10%.

The dollar gained 0.7% to a five-week peak on the yen at 138.58 , with bulls looking to re-test its July top of 139.38.

"EUR/USD can remain below parity this week," said Joseph Capurso, head of international economics at CBA.
